2026
Acquired the Orange County space-tracking firm, which runs a network of about 400 telescopes, to build out space domain awareness and missile defense work.
Roughly 130 ExoAnalytic staff joined Anduril directly rather than as a subsidiary, more than doubling its space team.
Supports Anduril's Space Force work, including its Golden Dome space-based interceptor prototype agreement.
2025
Acquired Numerica's radar and command-and-control units on 9 January 2025 for their tracking and signal-processing software.
Added the Spark and Spyglass radars to Anduril's air and missile defense line and to the Lattice platform.
Anduril said it would produce the radars at Arsenal-1.
2023
Acquired the solid rocket motor maker and its ALITEC aluminum-lithium propellant to secure motor supply for Anduril munitions.
Anduril took over the Mississippi solid rocket motor complex and began expanding its output.
Made Anduril a motor supplier as well as a buyer at a time of US propulsion shortages.
2023
Acquired the North Carolina firm behind the Fury uncrewed jet, together with its composite aerostructures team, on 7 September 2023.
Fury became the basis for the YFQ-44A that the Air Force selected for CCA Increment 1 seven months later.
The YFQ-44A first flew on 31 October 2025 and entered production at Arsenal-1 in 2026.
2022
Acquired the Boston builder of large autonomous underwater vehicles, including the modular Dive-LD, to enter undersea autonomy.
Dive-LD became the design basis for the Ghost Shark extra-large autonomous undersea vehicle.
Led to Anduril's first international program of record, the Royal Australian Navy Ghost Shark fleet.
2021
Acquired the Georgia developer of tube-launched air-launched effects to add the ALTIUS family to Anduril's air vehicle line.
ALTIUS was integrated with Lattice and fielded with the US Army and, through Anduril UK, with Ukraine.
Gave Anduril a production loitering and reconnaissance vehicle two years before it built its own.
Anduril's strategy is to hold prime positions on programs of record rather than supply subsystems to other primes, and to buy specialist teams when it needs a capability: Area-I for air-launched effects, Dive Technologies for undersea vehicles, Adranos for solid rocket motors, Blue Force Technologies for the Fury airframe, Numerica's radar and command-and-control business, and ExoAnalytic Solutions for space tracking. Alongside that it builds its own capacity, from Arsenal-1 in Ohio to the Ghost Shark factory in Sydney, and localizes in allied markets through Anduril UK, Anduril Australia and, since December 2025, Anduril Industries Japan.
Anduril funds development with private capital and then sells finished systems at firm fixed prices, the reverse of the cost-plus contracts that pay the established primes for research hours. Lattice is the tie that binds the catalog: sentry towers, drones, interceptors and undersea vehicles feed sensor data into it, the software is licensed on recurring agreements, and fielded systems keep receiving updates. Anduril also sells capability as a service, running base and perimeter defense under multi-year agreements, and takes prime integration roles such as the US Special Operations Command counter-drone contract. In March 2026 the US Army set up a commercial ordering vehicle with a $20 billion ceiling that lets federal buyers purchase Anduril products directly, and issued the first task order under it for counter-drone work.
Anduril acquired the Boston company in February 2022 for its Dive-LD large autonomous underwater vehicle, which gave it an undersea line and the design basis for Ghost Shark. Terms were not disclosed.
On 1 April 2021. Area-I, based in Georgia, built tube-launched air-launched effects, and its ALTIUS family became Anduril's first production air vehicles. Terms were not disclosed.
Anduril acquired the solid rocket motor maker in June 2023 for its ALITEC aluminum-lithium propellant and its Mississippi production complex, at a time when US motor supply was a bottleneck for missiles and interceptors.
Announced on 7 September 2023, it brought the Fury uncrewed jet design and a composite aerostructures team. Fury became the YFQ-44A that the Air Force selected for CCA Increment 1 in April 2024. Terms were not disclosed.
On 9 January 2025 Anduril bought Numerica Corporation's radar and command-and-control businesses, adding tracking and signal-processing software and the Spark and Spyglass radars, which it said it would build at Arsenal-1.
Announced on 11 March 2026, the purchase added a network of about 400 telescopes and roughly 130 staff who track spacecraft in high orbits, supporting Anduril's space domain awareness and missile defense work. Terms were not disclosed.
Their hardware is integrated with Lattice and, where useful, moved into Anduril's own factories. ExoAnalytic was folded directly into Anduril rather than run as a subsidiary, while continuing to serve its outside customers.
Specialist teams that solve an industrial bottleneck or add a domain: air-launched effects, undersea vehicles, solid rocket motors, uncrewed jet airframes, radar and command-and-control software, and space tracking.
Anduril aggressively acquires smaller defense hardware startups (like Dive Technologies for autonomous submarines and Blue Force for fighter drones) to rapidly plug their hardware directly into the Lattice software OS.
